I have a "TV Pass" on Amazon Instant Video to The Walking Dead in HD. The "pass" saves me 5% per episode. It automatically bills me each week when a new epsidoes comes out. Using the amazon website I can download it to my S3 or Premiere from work so it is ready on my Tivo when I get home. But they download in SD!

I recall reading here if you purchase an Amazon Instant Video using the Tivo menu instead, it will download the HD version.

So, my question is, must I cancel my "TV pass" and just download them via the Tivo menu if I want them in HD on my Tivo?

Tonight I tried "repurchasing" an episode to see if it would recognize I already own it and download in HD. Of course, silly me, it charged me a second time for the episode.

Yeah, it's the HD one. Even says HD in the title when it arrives on the Tivo, but it's not really.

In fact, when you click the Download to Device link on the web page, it says it is downloading in SD. Pretty sure it is just a limitation of using their website to initiate the download. Just disappointed downloading from the Tivo (using same Amazon account), doesn't recogonize it is already purchased. Not to mention, it still hasn't even started downloading yet my second purchase. I think it is as confused as I am!

In my Amazon Video Library, there were 2 seasons of IRT: Deadliest roads season 2, 1 in HD and other in SD. When I went to the SD version to try to download, it wouldn't, but in the HD version, it does work.
